9th Fifth - Warm Weather Brings Out The Best In Us

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[Guess what Mayfield? The Captain is drunk, he's had a great morning, and he's naked!

That's right. The alcoholic super hero has gone a bit over board. But still! It gets better!

He may even end up in your house! That's right! Your house!

He's super powered and super naked. You can catch him doing one of the following.]

A)
[He's outside picking a fight with your car/tree/mailbox/dog.

It's a heated argument, he seems to be losing. He is swinging a mostly empty bottle of liquor around.

There's a lot of shouting, but it hasn't gotten violent. Yet.]

B)
[In your kitchen, rummaging around for alcohol or food. He's made a mess of things too.

Your fridge is open, your meats are cooking on the stove with OJ marinade and your milk is spilled all over the floor.]

C)
[In your bathroom, passed out in your shower.

The shower curtain has been torn town and the water is still running on him.

Wait, is that your toothbrush sticking out of his mouth?]

D)
[In your bed. Yes, your bed!

Maybe sprawled out on top of you, or maybe having a naked cuddle. Is he big spoon or small spoon?]

E)
[You got lucky, he never made it inside and he didn't destroy your yard.

Instead he passed out on your lawn, on your driveway or even on your car.]

Why don't you come inside and get away from the nasty tree....I have some blankets for you to wear until we find you some pants.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

...

Yeah, that's probably a good idea.

[Flicks off the tree before following Ken inside.]

[weiss_tank]

[Of course it's a good idea. Now come on, let him make it so no one can see your ass anymore.]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[He'll go inside and away from the public eye for now. Sitting down on a chair.

You might want to burn that chair later.]

[weiss_tank]

[No big loss considering it's part of the Mayfield house and will come back cleansed.]

Here...[He'll hand the Cap an old blanket] Did something happen?

[hisnameisthecaptain]

No, just had a good night is all...

[Taking the blanket.

He must have had a really good night.]

And I'm tired of this place.

[weiss_tank]

Aren't we all...[He'll just sigh and shake his head] Why don't you sleep it off here tonight, and I'll make you some breakfast and coffee when you wake up.

[He really doesn't want the Cap pulling anymore drunken shenanigans.]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

You don't have to, I'll get home without fighting anyone else.

[weiss_tank]

I'm not worried about that, I'm worried about you passing out on someone's lawn and not making it home.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

That's not that bad.

[weiss_tank]

I worry about you Captain, I really do.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Don't. You got enough to worry about here, don't you?

[weiss_tank]

You're my friend, of course I'm gonna worry about you.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Yeah...

Hey, did you have a lot of important friends back home?

[weiss_tank]

[Ken smiles a bit] Not as many as you'd think, but I had a few. One of 'em is here now. His names Aya and he's a big grump but he's a good guy at heart.

Why?

[hisnameisthecaptain]

So one is here.

...

If I tell you something will you promise not to make fun of me?

[weiss_tank]

I promise. [He means it too.]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

I'm pretty sure some of my friends here are only friends with me because they are alone and stuck here.

[Yes, The Captain is now a paranoid teenager.]

[weiss_tank]

[He's silent for a moment, and then walks over to pat the Captain on the shoulder.]

Hey now, don't think that. I'm sure most of them are friends with you for other reasons.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

It's just been nagging at me.

[Didn't help that someone told him that, in a friendly manner while trying to help even.]

Hell, I only ended up in Nextwave because a terrorist group put us together at first.

[weiss_tank]

[That someone needs to be kicked. :<]

I only met Aya because I got picked for an assassin team, so I know what you mean.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[Wasn't quite her fault, but The Captain is easy to get down.]

Yeah, I wasn't much of a super hero that'd get picked up otherwise.

And here, well, everyone's forced together anyways.

[weiss_tank]

But you know, you make the best friends that way. I mean, some of my friends are people I never woulda spoken to otherwise.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

I guess so. Still, given a second chance, I wonder how many would have avoided me.

[weiss_tank]

Who knows. Cap, underneath all that drunk thing you got going on, you're a nice guy who honestly wants the best for people. You just need to act on that a little bit more.
